It is no secret that America is a great place to live. Here we have the freedom to vote in a democracy, worship how we choose, and enjoy privileges like air conditioning and clean water. The things we enjoy as Americans should never be taken for granted, and we should always take every opportunity to celebrate our great country. And there is no better place to celebrate America than Silver Dollar City in the summertime in Branson, Missouri. Old fashioned and patriotic, Silver Dollar City is an all American theme park that you will be glad to celebrate in!
All American Craftsmanship
If you have ever heard of Silver Dollar City before, chances are that you’ve heard about the outstanding craftsmen and women making and selling products throughout the park. The craftspeople at Silver Dollar City are proud to celebrate America and her heritage through their work. The skills showcased at Silver Dollar City are time honored practices that have been handed down through generations of American craftsmen. You will hear the sound of hammers ringing on steel at the blacksmith shop, and feel the heat from a kiln on your face as you watch skilled tradesmen make delicate blown glass. Woodworkers, potters, leatherworkers, jewelry makers, painters and more are stationed around the park to help you celebrate America and appreciate the culture of this great nation!
All American Food
Americans love food – there is no question about that. At Silver Dollar City, America’s culinary heritage is celebrated year round! Get ready for some timeless treats and good old fashioned comfort foods. The city is well-known for their hot and tasty funnel cakes – nothing is more all American than these fried treats that come dusted with powdered sugar! Kettle corn is also a park favorite, and it makes a good snack any time of year. Hamburgers, barbeque and skillet meals make for some hearty park fare, and coffee, cocoa, tea, lemonade and soda are there to top it all off.
All American Rides
Nobody does theme park rides like America. And nobody in America does theme park rides like Silver Dollar City! Their latest and greatest roller coaster, Outlaw Run, broke records around the world and put Silver Dollar City in the history making spotlight- again. If barrel rolling on a wooden coaster isn’t quite your style, fear not! The park has lots of other ride options for you! Take a float down the Lost River, perfect for a hot summer day! Or let the breeze from sailing high on the Giant Barn Swing cool you down. The American Plunge, Thunderation, and even the Silver Dollar City Train make for some great rides as well. Silver Dollar City also features a playground/ride area for younger kids, so nobody has to miss out on the all American fun!
Silver Dollar City is the perfect place to celebrate America this summer. Pack some sunscreen, grab the kids, and head to the city for a patriotic celebration you will never forget!
